My current work features places we are drawn to when we need a moment of escape and respite. Sometimes images include figures caught in moments of suspension: pausing by the river, reading, waiting for someone or something or just idling around.

When I make an image I am trying to do what pretty much all art attempts to do: make a connection. It says – I've noticed this about the world, and this is how I feel about it. Does that resonate with you? I was very happy when an online buyer wrote to me that he bought a print because it captured just how he felt when he gazed out of the train window on his way to work, watching the world stream by.

My figurative work has been described as ‘snapshots from dreams’ and the figures which appear in some of them as ‘characters waiting to be given their lines.’

I’ve noticed that my work has evolved from depicting a number of people occupying a space to focussing on an individual in a landscape or solely on the potential relationship of the viewer to a place. I don’t think these shifts are intentional. You only become aware of them later on.

My practice has evolved over the years so that I now use three main techniques – screenprint, monoprint and phototransfer – often in combination. This allows me to combine a crisp photographic quality with a painterly freedom.
